Baltimore Ravens news, rumors and injuries

Baltimore Ravens WR Michael Crabtree will be "a reliable receiver" for QB Joe Flacco, according to retired WR Anquan Boldin. "I had a chance to play with Crab for two or three years out in San Francisco," Boldin said. "Like I said, competitive guy, he's a crafty guy, a veteran guy, a guy that can really catch the ball."

Fantasy Tip: Crabtree should immediately become Baltimore's top possession guy, and he's also been productive in the red zone. The Baltimore passing game isn't great, but Crabtree should still be a solid WR3 in 2018.

Fantasy Tip: Campanaro hasn't really been much of a factor on the offensive side of the ball, but he has shown glimpses of brilliance on special teams. That's where his value is to his real-life team, and his fantasy value remains rather minimal regardless of where he lands.

Free-agent WR Mike Wallace (Ravens) could still return to the Baltimore Ravens, as general manager Ozzie Newsome said he hasn't closed to door on re-signing the veteran. The club has had conversations with Wallace.

Fantasy Tip: Wallace has bounced around the league, spending his five seasons with three different teams. He has e-re-emerged in Baltimore with 124 catches and 1,765 yards with eight touchdowns over the past two years with the Ravens. The team has signed Michael Crabtree and John Brown during the offseason, so it's uncertain if and where Wallace would fit in. His fantasy value might be higher elsewhere.

Updating a previous report, Baltimore Ravens WR Michael Crabtree's three-year contract is worth $21 million. The deal includes $11 million in guaranteed money and could be worth up to $20 million over the first two seasons.

The Baltimore Ravens reached an agreement with free-agent WR Michael Crabtree (Raiders) on a three-year contract on Friday, March 16, according to a source. Financial details were undisclosed.

Fantasy Tip: Crabtree takes the place of Ryan Grant, who had his deal nullified due to a medical issue. The veteran receiver is probably a better addition than Grant anyway, as the latter never had a 100-yard game. Crabtree is likely to slot as the No. 1 receiver in Baltimore, and he'll be a solid WR3 or flex fantasy option in 2018.

Updating previous reports, free-agent WR Ryan Grant (ankle) failed his physical with the Baltimore Ravens because of an ankle injury he suffered in the regular season finale in 2017, according to a source.

Free-agent WR Ryan Grant's expected four-year, $29 million contract with the Baltimore Ravens is on hold due to "something" doctors found in his physical that "concerned them given the level of guarantees they committed to him," according to a source.

Fantasy Tip: Ebron has posted decent numbers over the last few seasons and likely would start for the Ravens if he signed with them. Ebron probably will be a No. 2 fantasy tight end no matter where he plays in 2018.

Baltimore Ravens DT Brandon Williams restructured his contract Thursday, March 15, to create $5.625 million in salary cap space. He converted $7.5 million of his $8.5 million base salary into a signing bonus.

Updating a previous report, free-agent WR John Brown (Cardinals) agreed to terms with the Baltimore Ravens Wednesday, March 14. Terms of the contract were not disclosed, but an earlier report stated it is a one-year deal worth $5 million.

Updating a previous report, free-agent WR Ryan Grant (Redskins) officially agreed to terms with the Baltimore Ravens Wednesday, March 14. Terms of the contract were not disclosed, but an earlier report stated that it is a four-year deal worth $29 million.

Fantasy Tip: Grant probably will be at least the No. 3 receiver for the Ravens this season and could even be in the starting lineup. He is coming off a solid 2017 season and could be a No. 4 or No. 5 receiver in deeper fantasy leagues.

Baltimore Ravens WR Jeremy Maclin is being released Wednesday, March 14, according to a source. He would have been a salary cap hit of $7.5 million.

Fantasy Tip: Maclin's release really opens the door for John Brown and Ryan Grant to make some noise in Baltimore, especially if Mike Wallace is not re-signed. Brown, Grant, Breshad Perriman and Chris Moore would lead a subpar receivng corps, but the Ravens could very well draft another receiver. This is a situation to perennially stay away from.
